The gesture support for additional signs is quite nice, but probably annoying if you are used to swipe keyboards.

    I find this to be the best keyboard. My language uses a lot of non ascii characters and its so much faster to type them with this!

      I use it alongside SwiftKey (with Internet access disabled). It’s a godsend in Termux.

          An app being able to subvert system-level permissions would be pretty huge news.

          I downloaded that app along with SwiftKey and disabled network access for it. Here’s what I get:

          Where am I supposed to see it being able to access the internet?

              Enabled the traffic log, used SwiftKey in a few different apps, got traffic from those apps, but nothing from SwiftKey. What am I missing?

                on my phone, even with disabled access, it was “phoning home” regularly. i’m on AnySoftKeyboard for the last 2 years.

                maybe my os wasn’t intact 🤷 it’s degoogled now and (relatively) tracker free

                if Swiftkey works for you … good for you.

                excuse my comments

                  I don’t use SwiftKey, just tested it because you shared a tool for doing it and claimed it was able to subvert Android permissions.

                  You probably didn’t actually disable the permission – like I said, the idea that an app could get around system-level permissions like that, in a way you could plainly observe would be headline news. It would be astounding that you somehow uncovered something that massive.

    I use helium314/openboard on day to day basis, but the few times I use termux or have to ssh a linux box from my phone, unexpected keyboard is really awesome.
